OUR STORY
At Beyond Therapy, we believe in each person's capacity to change and grow as they process through the difficulties life may bring. We aim to educate each person about what trauma is and how it affects us. Destigmatizing trauma allows our clients to come out of shame and heal in a safe place. We all have traumas that affect us differently, and as a center our goal is to come alongside people in their journey to heal and go BEYOND their trauma.
Beyond Therapy works to provide the most research based, quality and advanced techniques in therapy to our clients. We train our students and interns to be client and holistically focused and offer space for them to grow and learn in their practice. Additionally, we work hand in hand with other great practitioners in town with a wide variety of specialties.
Since 2005, Isabelle Parker has been developing this center to serve countless clients and train many students and interns. What began as a faith-based therapy center called ICLV Wellness Center, focusing on serving the Christian Community of Las Vegas, has since expanded to reach the diverse community of this city.

I am a licensed Couple and Family Therapist Intern and received my Master’s of Science in Couple and Family Therapy from UNLV. I chose this career because I love helping people with their mental health struggles, and love being part of their healing journey. I view people from a holistic perspective. I want to comprehend all the systems they are a part of and be able to help clients to the best of my ability. Also, try to acknowledge and appreciate the client’s cultural and ethnic background while, portraying cultural humility and competence throughout the process of therapy. I believe every person that comes to therapy is unique, and because of this, I take on a collaborative approach. I do this by providing a space for the client to voice their needs and what works best for them.
I use an interconnected approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and some Experiential Therapy, fostering a nonjudgmental, safe, and compassionate space for each client. I have experience working with
trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, navigation of certain mental disorders (ADHD, Autism, etc.), parenting, boundaries work, couples therapy, and family therapy. I am extremely passionate about helping people process grief (dying of a loved one, life transitions, etc.) and
helping individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds who suffer from chronic and/or terminal illnesses.

Morgan O'Neal
MFT Intern
Life is not easy, and when faced with challenges of finding ourselves, finding the courage to leave unhealthy relationships and focusing on individuality, it becomes even more difficult. My focus as a clinician is to guide you to a place of peace and acceptance. I aim to help individuals who are struggling with the pressures of everyday life, unprocessed trauma, and those who have trouble with building relationships. While accepting and working to provide support to clients of all backgrounds, I have a passion for and am uniquely positioned to navigate women's health and encourage young girls to embrace who they are!
As a trauma informed therapist, I understand that everyone is different and needs to move at a pace that is comfortable for them. I am able to manage the right balance between encouraging clients to grow, as well as meeting them where they are at.

Trista Otto
MFT - Intern
Are you feeling stuck on certain issues in your life? Do you feel as though you have tried everything in your power to cope with or handle this problem? As a state intern Couples and Family Therapist I can provide you with psychoeducation, a safe space, and collaborative approach in order to best assist you with your individual needs. I utilize a Narrative approach paired with Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) that I tailor specifically for each client.
I do come from a systems perspective meaning that one person is not the complete cause of the problem at hand. There are many individual factors leading into a given problem. I am here to be your guide in figuring that out and to assist you in gaining your power back from that issue.
I have just recently graduated with my Masters in Couples and Family Therapy and have been practicing in the field for 2 years. Throughout my time practicing I have had the pleasure of working with Individuals, couples, and families. I got into this field due to wanting to help others, specifically anyone who has been impacted by Cancer. I am a survivor myself and have been in remission for over 10 years now. I know how difficult this can be to not only the diagnosed individual but also everyone else in their system as well.

Kim Rowley
MFT Student Intern
I became a therapist because I believe in the power of healing through connection. It’s a privilege to support people as they move through anxiety, relationship struggles, and the impact of unresolved childhood pain.
I enjoy working with both individuals and couples, and I especially love helping partners create deeper emotional connection and understanding.
I’m trained in EMDR, Neurofeedback, and have completed the EFT Externship. My approach is warm, body-based, and grounded in attachment, integrating somatic parts work and inner child healing to support lasting change.
I know how hard it can be to face what hurts—but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk with you, with compassion and care, as you move toward healing.
Nicole Davi
MFT Student Intern
Hi there! I’m currently a student therapist studying at UNLV in the Couple and Family Therapy program. Through my own life challenges, I experienced firsthand the transformative power of therapy, which deepens my commitment to this work. I’m passionate about working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families as they navigate major life changes, explore their identities, and process past experiences, including childhood trauma. I believe therapy should be a comfortable, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and accepted. I support clients in rewriting their stories, discovering who they are and what they want, and building confidence and trust in themselves along the way. With deep respect for diverse backgrounds, I meet people where they are, embracing their unique life experiences and worldview. I take an empathetic approach, guiding clients to go deeper at their own pace—exploring emotions, unpacking attachment patterns, and shifting how they connect and communicate with others. I draw from Narrative Family Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support the process. Together, we’ll explore what truly matters to you. You are the expert in your life—I’m here to listen, support, and walk alongside you as you grow and heal. Let’s create a new chapter that feels right for you.
